Sofia2017 planning asked about this Miley Cyrus song, so enjoy your request! I thought it would be nice if, as a special surprise for his birthday, James, who recently started singing in public again, surprised Roland with a song, and sang it for him. James might also dedicate this song to Roland since he learned a few lessons from him following his stint as King for a Day. Miley Cyrus' music is not mine.

Everyone was having fun at Roland's birthday celebration. Amber had done a fabulous job of planning the party, as always, but now she watched as James went over to the piano.

Sofia was surprised as James started playing. "What's he doing?" she wondered. The family knew that James had recently started singing in public again after three and a half years of singing behind a closed door. True, he'd accompany anyone who wanted to sing, but he never did it himself.

"I think…he's…yes!" Amber gasped. "Daddy, he's-"

"It's true, Amber; I'm going to do it," James smiled at her as he accompanied himself on the piano and began to sing.

James: Ooh, yeah
I didn't wanna listen to what you were sayin'
I thought that I knew all I need to know
I didn't realize that somewhere inside me
I knew you were right but I couldn't say so
I can take care of myself, yeah, you taught me well

Amber broke down in tears right there as James sang one of her favorite Miley Cyrus songs, and it wasn't behind a closed door.

I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin'
There's no question, that's a lesson, that I learned from you

Just like Amber, Roland had tears in his eyes. "I've never been so proud," he murmured as he softly joined in.

Roland: We always don't agree on
What is the best way
To get to the place that we're going from here
But I can really trust you, and give you the distance
To make your decisions without any fear

James smiled as he sang, I'm grateful for all of the times
You opened my eyes

"Come on, Dad! How many times have you sung this to Amber?" he continued.

I learned from you that I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin'
There's no question, that's a lesson
I learned from you

Roland took Amber in his arms as he sang to her, You taught me to stand on my own

James: And I thank you for that

James and Roland: You saved me, you made me,
And now that I'm looking back

James and Amber: I can say
Whoa!
Hmm, hmm, yeah!

Roland and Amber: I learned from you that
I do not crumble
I learned that strength is something you choose

James: Something you choose
All of the reasons to keep on believin',

Roland: Keep on believin'

James: There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you

Amber: Whoa!
I learned from you

James: I learned that strength is something you choose
Something you choose

Amber: All of the reasons to keep on believin',
There's no question, that's a lesson that I learned from you

Amber/James/Roland: Yeah!
I learned from you

Roland and Amber weren't the only ones blinking back tears after the song. Sofia and Miranda were also wiping their eyes, and they had only found out about James' secret a few months ago.

"I can't believe it," Roland said as he regained his composure, "I was given an even better present than that bowl of jiggly-wiggly pudding…James sang at my birthday celebration again!"

"Happy birthday, Dad!" James grinned as the family pulled him into a hug.
